DVD writer troubles
by Ankur Sinha 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

Hi, I do realize this isnt the right place for the query, but I really dint know where else to ask. My fedora system cannot burn dvds properly. That is, my laptop burner and the new USB burner I got just today. I'm using "wodim" and it continually wastes dvds. Here is an example: [Ankur@Ankur Fedora-11-i386-DVD]$ wodim -scanbus scsibus4: 4,0,0 400) 'HL-DT-ST' 'DVDRAM GSA-4084N' 'KQ09' Removable CD-ROM 4,1,0 401) * 4,2,0 402) * 4,3,0 403) * 4,4,0 404) * 4,5,0 405) * 4,6,0 406) * 4,7,0 407) * scsibus14: 14,0,0 1400) 'SONY ' 'DVD+-RW DW-D56A ' 'PDS7' Removable CD-ROM 14,1,0 1401) * 14,2,0 1402) * 14,3,0 1403) * 14,4,0 1404) * 14,5,0 1405) * 14,6,0 1406) * 14,7,0 1407) * ------------------------------------------ [Ankur@Ankur Fedora-11-i386-DVD]$ su -c ' nice -n -18 wodim -v -eject dev=14,0,0 Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso ' Password: wodim: No write mode specified. wodim: Asuming -tao mode. wodim: Future versions of wodim may have different drive dependent defaults.

The problem is related to write access to the DVD / CD writer. The culprits to tackle here are "selinux" and "PolicyKit......" configurations to allow the access to write to the DVD / CD writer. Do a little legwork (finger work with keyboard) or come back and ask again :) with Regards, ASHWIN Yahoo! India has a new look. Take a sneak peek http://in.yahoo.com/trynew

Hi, If you are planning on proposing a talk as a speaker and haven't registered your talks at http://foss.in, now would be a good time to do so. If you are doing it as part of the proposed Fedora Project day, list your talk at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foss_in_2009 Note that listing your talk in this wiki doesn't mean you are registered. You will have to register in the http://foss.in website directly. Thanks. Rahul

Association with a startup in Bangalore
by Rangeen Basu 23 Oct '09

23 Oct '09

Hi One startup in Bangalore wants to run all their computers (around 20) on Fedora and requires installation, configration and network setup support. Is there anyone in Bangalore with proper knowledge of configuring servers and a linux network? I might use the help. I can easily take care of the installation and basic configuration part but regarding server setup, I am not really an expert.. -- Regards Rangeen Basu Roy Chowdhury Fedora Ambassador sherry151(a)gmail.com
